So after a tough winter spring season is finally here.

Along with that fact i thought of testing the waters in regards of organizing a meet in the tri-state and PA for the summer.

And here is this tread aiming @ all my fellow members in new york,new jersey,connecticut and of course pennsylvania to figured out how much interest is out there to make it happen.

There was talk several years ago about a get together for East Coast VXrs at Assateague Island.

Just throwing that out there as another option.

Do it and I am there (if I can go AWOL from work during crunchtime). We did a couple campout weekends there in previous years and it was always a great time. Needs to be planned VERY early though since Assateague books up pretty fast. Camping has gotten VERY popular since the economy bombed.... much cheaper.

You are right about time.

That's why i did the proposal early.

Although the title says tri-state & PA meet this is wide open to all members living in the northeast.

We can do it late in the summer season,i think this one came be a family/friendly meet so you don't have to leave wife/husband and kids behind.

Define camping.

What Wifey & I do is considered more like a hotel room on wheels.

Lucky for me, I don't have a wife, husband, or kids. Just a dog and many a little black book with the phone numbers of numerous ladies 1/2 my age. :p

And no, sorry dude, that ain't camping. My old MX team used to motor around in our Pace Arrow fleet and it was always so BLAH. THIS is camping....

Be one with the bugs, the cold, the discomfort, the showerless smell, the soggy morning linens, and any inclement weather that sneaks up on you. Oh... the life!

Reminds me, my last trip out, my tent was damaged pretty bad by a storm. Need to get a new one.

I've tent camped before ... I've curled up near a campfire with no tent ... in the bed of a pick-up ... on the floor of a boat. I'm spoiled & like this method better:)

My g/f is kicking my teeth in to go camping this year.... bad. Thinking something down the road from now, like Assateague for Labor Day weekend. I will put her on the ball to see about reservation availability and the possibility of getting some lots side by side and relay here if anyone is interested.

Stateside: http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/eastern/assateague.asp (for camping)

Fed: http://www.nps.gov/asis/index.htm (for driving out on during the day for "day" camping, surf fishing, sunning, cooking, and boozing.... and please, don't drive in the dunes ;) )

Ok guys

From monday and during the entire week i'll send PM's to all active members and spread the word.


Next step is to find a good location which can be accessible by high/expressways so all attendees can get there as soon as possible.
